An immortal man. A dying scientist. A relentless pursuit that threatens everything. KNOW MERCY is a gripping new sci-fi thriller that dives deep into the cost of eternity and the dangers of obsession.
Stranded on Earth for centuries, Hanokh has wandered through time, questioning his purpose and searching for meaning in a world where life and death are intertwined. After a lifetime of solitude, he finally finds love—but that fragile connection is threatened when a brilliant yet terminally ill scientist becomes fixated on unlocking the secret of his immortality. What begins as an obsession quickly escalates into a desperate chase, putting Hanokh and those closest to him in danger. As the pursuit tightens, Hanokh is forced to confront the moral weight of his existence, the betrayal of those he once trusted, and the powerful forces seeking to exploit him.
Directed by Perdell Richardson and co-written by Richardson, Sayrie, and Ella Thomas, KNOW MERCY boasts a standout cast including Ella Thomas (Nightbitch, Desperation Road, NCIS), Xavier Avila (The Pitt, Roots), Donald Fullilove, Aniyah Williams, Paul L. Davis, and Juhahn Jones.
The film has already made waves on the festival circuit, taking home Grand Prize Best Picture at the Culver City Film Festival and earning a nomination for the Audience Award at the Cleveland Urban Film Festival. KNOW MERCY will also screen at the San Diego Black Film Festival in late January. Adding to its achievements, the film received the ReFrame Stamp for gender-balanced hiring, highlighting its commitment to equitable representation in the industry.
Gravitas Ventures will release KNOW MERCY on digital platforms on February 18, 2025. With a runtime of 1 hour and 23 minutes, the film remains unrated by the MPAA. Prepare for a haunting exploration of power, sacrifice, and the pursuit of something greater than life itself.
